Now, it\u2019s adding Philly-inspired sneakers to the mix.<\/p>\n
Nike is celebrating LeBron James<\/a>\u2019 arrival to the city with Air Force 1 \u201901 shoes, in a colorway matching the 76ers\u2019 colors. The low-top shoe has a white leather base color, white shoelaces, blue on the toe box and side panels, and a red Nike swoosh.<\/p>\n There are several details paying homage to the city. The right shoe has \u201cPHL,\u201d lettering outlined in blue, while the left shoe has \u201c215,\u2033 the area code for the city. On the back heel, \u201cPhila\u201d is displayed, just like the Sixers\u2019 primary home and away jerseys.<\/p>\n A presale for the shoe, which is $140, was held Thursday through the Nike SNKRS app and local retailer Lapstone & Hammer. The shoes are expected to ship by February.<\/p>\n James debuts LeBron 24 \u2018Philly\u2019 shoes<\/p>\n Speaking of James, he has wearing some special, limited-edition shoes in his Sixers debut on Thursday night. Earlier this year, he announced the release of his 24th signature shoe with Nike in his 24th NBA season.<\/p>\n He debuted the Nike LeBron 24 \u201cPhilly\u201d shoes, and only 76 pairs were released as a nod to his new team. Each shoe had a monochromatic theme, with the Sixers\u2019 blue on his right foot and their red on his left. The LeBron 24s have a \u201cKingKnit\u201d material, which looks like a mesh fishing net, along with the outline of a crown on the shoe\u2019s outsole. The shoe dropped earlier this week at Nike\u2019s pop-up at the Fashion District.<\/p>\n The shoe release is the latest event by a Sixers star. Jaylen Brown<\/a> partnered with A Bathing Ape through his streetwear brand, 7UICE, for a limited-time shoe collaboration unveiled last weekend at Lapstone & Hammer. <\/p>\n The shoe, called 7UICE x BAPE STA, released online on Oct. 18, a day after the Lapstone & Hammer drop, and has a black leather upper silhouetting the entire shoe, with the Bathing Ape white star and 7UICE written in green accents near the heel, similar to the colors of his former team, the Boston Celtics. Brown also has his \u201cNOT from HERE\u201d signature shoe<\/a> through his brand, 741 Performance, releasing in November.<\/p>\n Tyrese Maxey<\/a> released his new signature shoe earlier this month, the New Balance Maxey v1s. Ahead of his shoe release, he stopped at local spots, including Foot Locker, Ishkabibble\u2019s, and Faheem\u2019s Hand of Precision.<\/a><\/p>\n Watch the latest episode<\/p>\n Beat reporters Gina Mizell and Chris Hine break down their most intriguing quotes from LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey during the preseason, along with what they most hope to learn about this revamped roster during the first month of the season.
